Silver: Wow… so this is what it's like to have a studio all to yourself. Wow. Anyways, Konichiwa, Min'na! (or whatever time of day it is…) I'm your friendly neighborhood Silver Maxx, and welcome to a new little segment I came up with called Toku West Sidequests! Basically, it's the same sort of awesome plot-driven Toku West work that you all know and love and placed into simple one-shot chapters written solo or in a duet.
Rainbow Dash: So? What's the point of all this?
Silver: Well, it's quite simple. You see, whenever we write our Toku West stories, mainly in our Toku West Super Hero Time on Sempai's (KKD Silver) account, there are so many different ideas between myself, Sempai, Pika, and TB that we normally can't put in all the ideas we want. These sidequests will help us in not only improving our writing as well as giving folks something to read while they wait for the next installment of SHT, but also will allow us to get some of our ideas out that we weren't able to produce in our main projects.
Twilight: Wow. You really thought this through, didn't you?
Silver: Eeyup. Anyways, we may as well get down to the nitty gritty. So, the first sidequest will be a little project that I thought of myself, one that's been stewing in the back of my head for some time. Anyone ever hear of the Turnabout Storm web videos on Youtube?
Pinkie: Ooh! Ooh! I know! I was in that video, wasn't I?
Silver: *sweatdrop* Yes, Pinkie, you were… and so was the ever-famous fictional defense attorney, Phoenix Wright! Now, ever since I got into the Brony fandom, I've wanted to post some sort of crossover between MLP and my favorite Kamen Rider Series of all time, W!
Dash: So? What does this have to do with Turnabout Storm?
Silver: Well, the premise to this crossover is similar, but with a few tweaks and turns to it, plus it'll be everyone's favorite detective duo instead of the stylish suit-wearing germaphobe attorney (he's a germaphobe, right? Never really played any of the Ace Attorney games…) who takes the spotlight. Anyways, enough gibber-gabber, girls! Let's get into position! We've got a Sidequest to complete!
Applejack: YEE-HAW! Let's git it goin'!
Fluttershy: Um, okay…
Silver: Hey, wait, where's the disclaimers?
Rarity: Don't rush me, Darling. I'm going as fast as I can… *is currently sewing the Disclaimer Screen together* There you go, Darling. *uses her magic to lift up the Disclaimer Screen before placing it onscreen*
DISCLAIMERS: SilverariaMaximum doesn't own MLP or Kamen Rider, Hasbro/Lauren Faust and Toei/Bandai do. All the author owns is the original concepts made within.
It was a late night in Ponyville. All the stores had closed down, and everyone was asleep. However, there was one pony who was awake this night. He was a brown stallion Pegasus with a tan mane and tail, his cutie mark being a trio of gray gears, as he walked through the dark of night with saddlebags full of papers on his back.
However, the Stallion suddenly heard a sound in the night, like a low rumble in the night, making him freeze up a bit.
"H-Hello? Is anyone there?" he stuttered, looking around the corner, seeing no one there, "Phew. It's probably nothing…"
"Nothing, you say, hmmm?" a voice suddenly spoke to him, sounding mysterious and dark, "Well… I wouldn't be too sure of that."
"Huh?! ...Wh-Who said that?!" the stallion gasped, looking around in a panic.
=WOLF!=
The stallion then paused when he heard that sound, a sinister sounding voice saying the word wolf, before he looked to see glowing yellow eyes glaring at him.
"H-HELP!" he gasped, as the eyes charged out at him.
Later that morning, Twilight was busy sorting her books in the library, using her magic to lift them onto the shelves.
"Man, this sure feels strange. No disasters, no evil spirits attacking… not even a contact from the Princess about anything!" Twilight sighed, "Gee, things sure have died down since the Cutie Mark mishap that happened…"
"Except for the fact that you're a Princess now," Twilight's young dragon assistant, Spike, noted, jumping down from the stairs and landing on Twilight's back, the purple Alicorn a bit surprised by Spike's added weight, but eventually recovering from the shock.
"Easy there Spike, not exactly used to that now that I got wings," Twilight replied, sliding Spike off her back.
"But still… don't you think it's a bit… too quiet?" Spike asked.
"Yeah. It feels like something's gonna happen…" Twilight noted, before, as if right on cue, a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane suddenly burst through Twilight's door.
"Twilight! Something terrible has happened last night!" the mare, Rainbow Dash shouted, in a panic.
"What happened? The Cakes ran out of Ditzy Doo's favorite muffin?" Twilight asked.
"No, worse! Somepony's been… murdered!"
"M-Murdered?! But… how?!" Twilight gawked, unable to believe it.
"MURDERED?!" Spike gasped, suddenly hiding under a table.
"I'm not sure. It was some stallion, and… he… I don't know when, but it looked like he got mauled by some sort of wolf! But… it felt more complex wounds than that!" Rainbow Dash responded.
"Complex how?" Twilight asked.
"Like this creature obviously knew where to attack the guy's most critical organs."
"This sounds serious… there has never been a case of murder in Ponyville before…" Twilight murmured.
"Seems kinda weird that it never happens, but the city becomes in danger on a daily basis," Spike noted.
"C'mon, you guys need to see this!" Rainbow Dash stated, before flying out of the room.
In the streets, ponies from all over the town looked at the carnage that had been done to the stallion. It was not a pretty sight, looking like an animal carcass chewed open by a lion.
"Ugh… I can't watch," Spike grunted, his face turning green as he turned to barf.
"What could've done this? A Timberwolf?" Twilight's friend, Rarity, who was a white unicorn with a purple curly mane, asked.
"No… Timberwolf claw marks don't look like this… and I don't smell any wood-like scent in this area," Twilight replied, looking at the body, "And… judging by what marks I can see… it almost looks like… only one wolf was involved… which is odd considering wolves usually hunt in packs."
"Oh my… maybe the wolf was left alone and was hungry or something…" a yellow pegasus, Fluttershy, noted.
"I don't know, Fluttershy. Either way, I'm sending these notes on the murder straight to Princess Celestia. She'll know what to do…" Twilight stated, using her magic to write on the piece of paper with her quill before it rolled up and was put in Spike's claws, "Spike, make sure she gets this message immediately."
"Yes, ma'am!" Spike responded, holding it up to his mouth before blowing green fire on the scroll, causing it to change into a puff of smoke and fly into the breeze.
"She should respond back very soon. I'm sure she'll have an answer," Twilight figured. Just then, as if on cue, Spike felt something in his throat, as he burped up another scroll that was completely intact.
"Well… that was fast," an orange pony with a blond mane wearing a cowboy hat noted.
"Told you," Twilight smiled, opening the scroll, "'Dear Twilight Sparkle, after reviewing the notes that you sent me, I have deduced that this being is unlike any we've ever seen in Equestria.' What?! How can that be possible?!"
"Who knows. What do you think, Applejack?" Rainbow Dash asked the orange pony.
"Ah think that this is just one plain crazy mystery…" Applejack replied.
"Ooh! You think we could be detectives again, just like when the MMMM got eaten?!" the five ponies then heard another pony speak, this one pink with a pink mane and tail.
"Quiet, Pinkie Pie. Let me read the rest of this," Twilight responded, before starting to read the scroll some more, "'While this creature still remains a mystery, we need to get to the bottom of this before it gets more out of hand. Enclosed here is a transport spell that will teleport to you the greatest detective who ever lived, Hidari Shotaro.' Hidari Shotaro? That's an odd name… 'I await your findings when this mystery is solved. -Princess Celestia' Well, girls, I guess we have no choice. We have to get into contact with this Hidari guy before more ponies get hurt."
"Okay…" Rainbow Dash replied with a look of confusion as Twilight read the spell on the scroll, her horn glowing in the process before her eyes glowed white as the spell took effect.
Fuuto City, Kamen Rider no Sekai
"The Dopant case was finally solved. All the people affected were cured, and the GaiaMemory was destroyed. Still does not bring an answer to how these GaiaMemories are being produced so quickly..." a familiar detective typed on his typewriter, his black fedora covering his brown hair as he looked around the Narumi Detective Agency Office.
"Hey… where's Akiko? Isn't she supposed to be around here… doing whatever it is she does?" Shotaro thought aloud, looking around for the self-proclaimed "chief" of the Detective Agency. Just then, Shotaro heard the door on the side of the room open, as a young man with black hair and wearing a green sleeveless cloak over a long-sleeved white and yellow shirt, blue shorts, black shoes, and fingerless gloves while reading some sort of book.
"Oi, Philip, have you seen Akiko?" Shotaro asked.
"Not today, Shotaro. I think she's with Terui for some reason. I don't know why…" the man, Philip, replied, before sitting down and looking at his book some more, which was blank.
"Y'know, I don't know why things in Fuuto have calmed down so much. We've barely gotten any clients since our last case a couple weeks ago…" Shotaro noted.
"Perhaps after our last case, GaiaMemory salesmen are getting more lucrative with their sales," Philip figured.
"Could be the answer," Shotaro responded, before looking over at Philip, "Y'know, I never ask you about it, but what are you researching this time?"
"Oh, just some multiversal string theory. It's actually very interesting stuff, Shotaro. There is a universe for pretty much everything to happen, and also parallel worlds where just the slightest things have changed."
"Yeah, well, we could just talk to Decade about those sort of things…" Shotaro chuckled. However, as he said that, the lights began to flicker for some reason. "Eh? What's going on?"
"I don't know," Philip admitted, equally confused before the two began to glow with some unnatural aura, Shotaro a purplish gray while Philip glowed a light green, "What's this?"
"AH! Philip, if you did something to make this happen, make it stop!" Shotaro shouted.
"I wish I knew what was happening, Shotaro, but if I had to guess, I think we're being-" Philip started, before the two suddenly faded from view, leaving the Detective Office completely empty.
"Oof!" Shotaro grunted, landing on his face, "Ugh… what happened? Why do I feel so weird? And why does it feel like I don't have my pants on?"
"Uh… Shotaro?" he heard Philip's voice speak, as he turned to look at where it was coming from.
"Ugh… Philip, is that y-?" Shotaro asked, before gawking. As he turned to face Philip's voice, he looked into the eyes of greenish-gray Unicorn pony with Philip's hair as its mane, and it was wearing his shirt and cloak, and had the symbol of the Cyclone Memory on his butt, "The hell?! Philip?"
"Daijoubu?" the pony asked, confirming to have Philip's voice.
"Uh… Aibou… I hate to tell you this, but… you're a horse," Shotaro stated.
"Huh? Really?" Philip asked, before looking down at his hooves, "Fascinating. We've changed shape without the use of a GaiaMemory…"
"Typical that Philip would be intrigued by this sort of thing," Shotaro muttered, before realizing something, "Wait… WE?!"
"...Yes. You've become a horse with wings," Philip confirmed, Shotaro still wrapping his mind around this as he tried to stand up, only to fall right back on his face, which felt further stretched out than it should've been. He then looked down at where his hands would be, looking to see that they were hooves covered in a tannish brown fur. Shocked by this, it only added to his shock when he felt something coming out of his back, looking to see a pair of brown wings sprouting from his back, and on his butt was the symbol of the Joker Memory.
"...This is all a bad dream… The Nightmare Dopant must have come back or something and we're all dreaming…" Shotaro guessed, obviously freaking out.
"Uh… excuse me…" he then heard a voice speak before he turned to see a purple pony with an indigo mane with a pink streak through it, who was a unicorn with wings, "Um… are you… Hidari Shotaro?"
"AGH!" Shotaro gasped, jumping backwards before suddenly realizing he was floating off the ground, his new wings somehow supporting him in mid-air, "What the hell?! Why are there talking horses everywhere?! Why am I a horse?! What's going on here?!"
"Uh… Twilight, I think the 'World's Greatest Detective' is a bit of a loon," Rainbow Dash muttered.
"Uh huh," Twilight responded, narrowing her eyes at the cyan pegasus and sighing before looking back at Shotaro, "Excuse me, are you Hidari Shotaro?"
"Huh?" Shotaro gawked, before noticing his wings stopped, and he fell back to the ground with a thud, "...Ugh… hai.."
"Um… hi to you too," Twilight replied, "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash."
"Um… nice to meet you all. Anyways, yes, I am Hidari Shotaro, and this is my Aibou, Philip."
"Eyeball?! Gross!" Rainbow Dash gawked.
"No… Aibou. It means 'Partner'," Shotaro clarified.
"Oh…" Dash nodded.
"Anyways… how can I help you?" Shotaro asked, as he looked over the six ponies that stood before him.
"Well, our leader, Princess Celestia, told us that you were the greatest detective that ever lived, and you might be able to solve a murder mystery that's happened before more ponies get hurt…" Twilight stated.
"Oh, a mystery, eh? Well, I'm just the kind of man for the job. Ikuze, Philip," Shotaro stated before realizing that Philip wasn't paying attention, as he was examining himself, and learned of his own magic.
"Fascinating," Philip gawked, lifting up his book with his magic before reading it, "This land is full of such new information!"
Shotaro sighed before trying to facepalm, only feeling his foreleg smack him in the face. He then recovered, with the six ponies giving him and Philip a weird look, "Please excuse my partner. He gets like this sometimes…"
"Okay, so, what you're telling me was a… Pegasus died in the late hours of the night to some sort of wolf monster that seemed to have the intelligence of a human," Shotaro clarified.
"Uh… what's a human?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I think it's one of those things Lyra's so obsessed about…" Rarity noted.
"What do you mean obsessed? Are you implying that humans are a myth here? Like how unicorns, pegasi, and… winged… unicorns are myths where we come from?" Shotaro gawked.
The Mane 6 then looked at each other and then back at Shotaro. "Yes."
"...Weird," Shotaro admitted.
"Intriguing," Philip replied.
Shotaro sighed, and then looked around the scene of the crime, the body taken away to be examined. "I think there is only one explanation for what happened…"
"What is it?" Fluttershy asked, curiously.
Shotaro and Philip then looked at each other before replying. "Dopant."
"Dopant?" the Mane 6 gawked in unison.
"Basically someone who uses a device like one of these to commit crimes as superhuman… er… superpony monsters. A Dopant," Shotaro stated, somehow being able to show the inside of his vest, which contained his three GaiaMemories, Joker, Metal, and Trigger.
"What are those?" AJ asked.
"GaiaMemories," Philip answered, showing his three, Cyclone, Heat, and Luna, while juggling them around with his magic.
"Stop fooling around!" Shotaro shouted, "elbowing" Philip with his hoof, "Anyways, we don't know how a GaiaMemory got to your world, but I know this… as long as it stays, it's bad news. We need to figure out why this person… er… pony wanted to kill our victim and how he or she came into contact with a GaiaMemory. Ikuze, Philip!"
However, Philip was too busy getting the hang of his magic to pay attention.
"I think you lost him quite a while ago," Twilight pointed out.
"Mou… guess I need a new 'Philip'," Shotaro sighed.
"Well, why are you telling a guy named Moe about it, whoever that is?" Pinkie Pie asked, smiling, causing Shotaro to facehoof again.
After getting the hang of being a pegasus, I've decided to enlist the help of these mares while Philip… does his own expansive look-up, in order to learn of any suspicious characters that could have done the crime. I discovered that the victim's name was Worker Gearz… honestly the oddest name I've run into so far. Even weirder than Twilight Sparkle…
"Uh… why are you narrating to yourself?" Twilight asked, causing Shotaro to turn around.
"Um… it's just what I do," Shotaro replied, "It's all about being Hard-Boiled."
"But you're not an egg, silly!" Pinkie Pie giggled.
"No Pinkie, he means like in those detective novels, those detectives who don't take any nonsense from anyone, or something along those lines," Twilight corrected.
"Whew. Glad SOMEONE in this town knows what I'm talking about," Shotaro sighed.
"I do read a lot. But… you seem a bit… half-boiled to me," Twilight added, causing Shotaro to falter.
"Oi! I am NOT half-boiled!" Shotaro growled, "Let's just focus on this case alright. So, who do you think this Gearz person would know that would want him killed?"
"Not sure… he only arrived in Ponyville recently. Like… about a couple days ago," Twilight answered, "I think he was on business here or something, and he was heading to his hotel the night of the murder when he was attacked."
"Hmmm… interesting. I think it's time we look up further what happened," Shotaro stated, before looking at one of the papers that was in the victim's saddlebag at the time of the murder, "And I think I have enough clues to do it."
Back at the treehouse, Philip had finally finished experimenting with his new magical abilities for now when Shotaro and the other six ponies came in.
"Philip, time for a look-up!" Shotaro stated.
"Ryoukai," Philip nodded, confusing the mares before he stood in the center of the treehouse, and suddenly went into a trance as his eyes began to glow a bit.
"What's he doing?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Philip has all the world's information in his head, and he's able to access it through the Gaia Library," Shotaro explained, before walking up to Philip, "Yosh. First Keyword, Worker Gearz."
Meanwhile, inside Philip's head, the unicorn stood before a massive array of bookshelves, before the words "Worker Gearz" appeared in front of him. This then caused a lot of bookshelves to disappear and shift around.
"Second Keyword: Cloudsdale Water Supply Company," Shotaro noted, causing more bookshelves to disappear, leaving only a few left, "Third Keyword… Wolf."
With that, all books disappeared except one, which said the name of the suspect. With a smile, Philip approached this book and picked it up with his magic before flipping through the pages.
"The suspect is a pegasus mare who goes by the name of Crystal Raine. She was apparently co-workers with Gearz before he was killed," Philip announced, as he left the Gaia Library and awoke back in the treehouse.
"Good work, Philip," Shotaro smiled.
"How'd you do that talking while you were sleeping and still standing?" Pinkie asked.
"I was in the Gaia Library while that was going on. I wasn't asleep," Philip informed.
"Guy-a Library? What kinda name is 'Guy-a'?" Pinkie giggled.
Shotaro sighed before looking at Twilight. "Is she ALWAYS this dense?"
"Pretty much," AJ whispered.
"Either way, we should find where this Crystal Raine is and get to the bottom of this," Shotaro stated.
"...Really? You honestly blame ME for my co-worker's murder?" the dull blue pegasus known as Crystal Raine stated indignantly, "I would never want to kill anypony, especially not my own co-worker. Besides, you don't have proof."
"Oh no? Well then, Raine-san, explain what these documents are," Shotaro stated, holding out the papers from earlier out for everyone to see, which was a newer, more efficient model of the water collection device for Cloudsdale, used for collecting water during the annual water refilling event.
"You can't prove anything with THAT! It's just the blueprints for a new water collector!" Crystal gawked.
"A new water collector that would have put him in a higher position than you," Shotaro noted.
"That's absolutely absurd! Get out of my office! I don't want to talk to meddling detectives anymore!" Crystal shouted, shooing him and Twilight out, as the others waited outside for the two of them.
"So… how did it go?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"She just shoved us out, claiming we were nuts or something," Twilight answered.
"Well, that's how it normally goes. I feel we just have to wait now," Shotaro stated.
"Wait? Why?" Twilight asked.
"We're targets now. She cannot allow us to live, otherwise we may jeopardize her plans," Shotaro replied, winking.
"B-But… I don't want to die…" Fluttershy whimpered.
"Don't worry about it. Philip and I have that covered," Shotaro assured.
As the group was walking back from their talk with Crystal, three young fillies suddenly ran up to the 8 ponies, one being a yellow Earth Pony with a red mane, a white Unicorn with a pink and light purple mane, and an orange pegasus with a purple mane.
"Hey Rainbow Dash!" the young pegasus smiled as the little fillies stopped before noticing Shotaro, "Who's this?"
"Oh, this is a friend from out of town," Rainbow Dash stated, "Shotaro, Philip, these are Rarity and Applejack's sisters, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom, and their best friend Scootaloo."
"We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" the three fillies shouted in unison.
"...What's a Cutie Mark?" Shotaro asked, a bit curious.
"It's that symbol that's on your flank, silly!" Pinkie Pie giggled, bumping Shotaro's flank, which made him feel uncomfortable before he looked back at the Joker symbol on it.
"What? You mean this tattoo-thing?" Shotaro asked.
"Duh! That's your special talent," the Unicorn, Sweetie Belle, noted.
"Don'tcha know about cutie marks, Mister Shotaro?" Applebloom asked.
"Well… I never really knew about them until I came here…" Shotaro stated.
"All ponies are born without a cutie mark, but we gain one once we find out about what our special talent is," Scootaloo explained.
"What's yer special talent, Mister Shotaro?" Applebloom asked.
"Well… I'm a detective. The stylish J kinda represents my spontaneity, I guess. I always try my hardest to keep people smiling, and live life hard-boiled."
"Like an egg?" Sweetie Belle asked, causing Shotaro to facehoof himself.
"It's kinda difficult to explain," Twilight admitted.
"Hey, you think we could be detectives, too?" Scootaloo asked.
"I don't see why not," Shotaro stated.
"Yay! Cutie Mark Crusaders Hard-Boiled Detectives!" the three cheered at the same time, surprising Shotaro and Philip.
"Uh… for starters, detectives normally don't shout out like that, and secondly, you need a good hat," Shotaro stated, pointing toward the Detective's hat on his head, which thankfully came with him when he came here, "My old boss always used to tell me that how someone wears his hat is important. You need to wear your hat like a true man… er… pony."
"Uh… okay, but… we don't have any hats," Sweetie Belle pointed out.
"It's no problem. Anyways, we should be going…" Shotaro stated, before he started to hear a low growl, "...girls, get to the treehouse, now."
"Okay," the fillies nodded before galloping off as Shotaro, Philip, and the Mane 6 looked around, trying to find the source of the growl.
"...You think that's…?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I'm pretty sure," Shotaro replied. Sure enough, a werewolf-like monster suddenly appeared out of nowhere, its teeth sharp as it glared straight at the 8 ponies, "I knew you'd show up to silence us… Crystal Raine."
"It was the only way I could get you off my trail," the Wolf Dopant growled in a female voice.
"Wait… that's Crystal Raine?!" Rarity gasped, fainting after she said that.
"You see now, that is the effect that the GaiaMemory has on people," Shotaro stated, reaching in his vest with his mouth before pulling out a familiar red and silver device, which he placed underneath his forelegs, right in front of his hind legs as he tried his hardest stand up. As well, the Double Driver also appeared on Philip as well, which he then levitated the Cyclone Memory up, as Shotaro grabbed the Joker Memory with his hoof, "Ikuze, Aibou!"
"Ah," Philip replied, as the two held the two GaiaMemories out to the side.
"Henshin!"
With that, the two placed their GaiaMemories in their belts, the Cyclone Memory disappearing into Shotaro's Double Driver before Philip fell unconscious. As the Mane 6 gasped in concern for Philip, Shotaro then inserted his Joker Memory into his belt before flicking the device apart with his hooves.
=CYCLONE! JOKER!=
Just then, green and black particles flew at Shotaro, changing him into the familiar Half-and-Half Warrior, Kamen Rider W. However, he was still in pony form, and had Philip's horn as well as his own wings.
"...Did Shotaro just turn into an Alicorn?!" Rainbow Dash gawked, as Rarity fainted once again.
"Ore-tachi wa/Boku-tachi wa Kamen Rider W," W announced, surprising the mares as he spoke in both Shotaro's and Philip's voices, "Saa, Omae no Tsumi o Kazero!"
"So… awesome…" Rainbow Dash gasped with excitement.
"Please make sure to watch over my body, okay?" Philip's voice asked, causing W's left eye lense to light up as he spoke. Twilight then nodded, levitating Philip's body out of harm's way.
W then flew in at the Wolf Dopant, striking with hoof kicks and punches, his wings seeming to help control the wind a lot better than when they were human.
"Wow! That looks amazing!" Pinkie gawked, witnessing the fight as the Wolf Dopant attempted to claw at W, but the Rider was able to dodge out of the way pretty easily.
"Ha! You think you can stop us? Together, Philip and I are the ultimate team!" Shotaro shouted, before W levitated two other GaiaMemories to put in the Double Driver.
=HEAT! METAL!=
With that, W entered HeatMetal form before pulling out his Metal Shaft via his magic.
"What the…?!" AJ gawked.
"He changed colors with those and gained a new weapon?!" Twilight added, unable to believe what was going on.
"Karai!" W shouted, smacking the Wolf Dopant around before changing forms again.
=LUNA! TRIGGER!=
W's form then changed to the yellow and blue LunaTrigger form before shooting the Trigger Magnum.
"Luna? As in like… Princess Luna?" Twilight wondered.
"No idea, but that looks awesome!" Dash admitted.
"It does look pretty cool…" Fluttershy admitted, smiling.
"Yosha! Time for a Memory Break, Philip, Pony-style!" Shotaro stated.
"Hai, Shotaro," Philip replied, changing back into CycloneJoker Form.
=CYCLONE! JOKER!=
W then levitated the Joker memory out of its slot without moving the compartments before putting it in the side of the belt, causing wind to blow around them as they flew into the air.
=JOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!=
Thus, the wind picked up rapidly, sending W up in a tornado, the various dust and debris nearly blinding both the Dopant and the Mane 6 as they flew higher and higher, even higher than they had gone before with this attack, before W smacked the button on the Drive slot with his hoof, sending him down in a double drop kick position.
"Joker Pony Extreme!" the two halves of W shouted in unison, splitting in half down the middle before slamming straight into the Wolf Dopant, causing it to explode, leaving behind only Crystal Raine and a broken GaiaMemory.
"Wow… that was AWESOME!" Dash gawked, as the Mane 6 rushed over to W as he changed back into Shotaro, as Philip slowly woke up and joined the others.
"Ugh… you'll pay…" Crystal groaned, before falling down from exhaustion.
"Guess that's another case closed, eh, Philip?" Shotaro asked.
"It appears to be the case, Shotaro," Philip agreed, the two smiling at each other and the Mane 6.
Crystal Raine was arrested for the murder of Worker Gearz, and it appears peace has returned to Ponyville. The water collector blueprints have been used for the new water collector in Cloudsdale, and Gearz was able to have his work seen through. Overall, just another case for myself and Philip, even if it was probably the strangest case I've ever been on.
A little while later, Shotaro and Philip were inside Twilight's treehouse, saying goodbye to everyone before they had to head back to Fuuto.
"You sure you wanna leave this soon? You'll miss out on a lot of amazing things in Ponyville," Rarity stated.
"We're sorry, but Fuuto needs us more than Ponyville does," Shotaro noted, "Though… I wouldn't mind coming back here again…"
"I honestly have no interest in coming back," Philip noted, causing Shotaro to facehoof.
"Typical Philip," he chuckled, "Once his curiosity is satisfied, he won't want to go back to it."
"Does this mean we won't see you both again?" Fluttershy asked.
"Don't worry about it. If you ever need a detective, you know who you can call," Shotaro stated, smiling, "Now, let's head home, Aibou."
"Bye, Shotaro! Thanks for the help!" Twilight shouted.
"Thanks for being so awesome in that fight!" Rainbow Dash asked.
"See ya later, Mr. Hard-Banana man!" Pinkie Pie shouted.
"It's Hard-Boiled!" Shotaro responded, a bit annoyed, before he and Philip were teleported back to Fuuto City.
"Man… that was indeed pretty strange," Twilight admitted, "I wonder how Princess Celestia knew about them…"
"No idea," Dash shrugged.
Meanwhile, at Canterlot Castle, Princess Celestia smiled at the report that Twilight had sent to her, as she walked through her room.
"Well, looks like you once again made the right choice in who to call for this situation," the Princess stated, smiling at the magenta unicorn stallion before her who had green eyes, a dark brown mane, wearing a black jacket on top of a red shirt, and on his flank was a bunch of vertical lines that somehow made the shape of a Rider Helmet.
"What can I say. I choose 'em as I see 'em," the magenta pony chuckled.
"Thank you very much for solving this problem, Tsukasa. However, it is strange how a GaiaMemory could get to Equestria…"
"Well, guess we'll never know…"
Meanwhile, back at the Narumi Detective Agency, Shotaro and Philip managed to return in human form, back where they were before.
"Whoa… how much time has passed since we were gone?" Shotaro asked, about to look at a clock before…
WHACK!
"Ite!" Shotaro groaned before looking to see an annoyed Akiko holding up her usual slipper.
"Where have you two been all day?! I've had an influx of cases and you two were goofing off!" Akiko growled.
"Uh… Akiko… you see… we were… on a case as well… you'll never believe it, but we tracked down this Dopant that a Pony used a Wolf GaiaMemory to…"
"NO EXCUSES!" Akiko shouted, before continuing to whack Shotaro over the head as he tried to retreat, leaving Philip to sigh and shake his head.
"Those two never change…" Philip sighed, chuckling a bit as Akiko continued her chase.
Silver: Well, there we have it! My Little Kamen Rider: The W Investigation is complete! Honestly, it was a blast writing this and I… *realizes the studio is empty* Oh yeah… there's no one else here… *sighs before hearing a clanging somewhere* Huh? What was that?
Dash: Sounded like it came from the vents.
Silver: *knocks on the vents a couple times, to the tune of "Shave and a Haircut", and before the final knock, KKD falls on top of him* WAGH!
KKD: Ouch… don't do that… those vents aren't the sturdiest… *cracks back* Ah… that's better. Man, it's CRAMPED in there.
Silver: Ow… why were you in the vents? Isn't that normally my thing? *tries to stand up, but fails* My back…
KKD: Here, let me help. *cracks Silver's back a little bit, making him scream* That should do it. And reason I was there was because I knew you'd need help at one point.
Silver: Good point. Guess we are a two-in-one writer, eh? Thanks for the help, Sempai. Anyways, what did you think of this first Sidequest?
KKD: It was pretty cool. I liked the route you took with this, making it somewhere in the midst of W, yet in between MLP seasons.
Silver: Yep. Just thought it'd be better than have it after Season 4 when Twilight lost the library, as well as after the Weather Dopant was defeated, for plot purposes. You know how I love to work the plot to my advanta… wait, I just said "plot". *facepalm*
KKD: Hey! You took your own words out of context, not me, man! *holds hands up defensively*
Silver: Whatever. Either way, I personally loved making fun of all the Japanese words that sound the same to other english words, as well as making jokes about the show itself, like Hard-Boiled and it being how an egg can be cooked. XD
KKD: Hoo boy, I bet you did. But poor Shotaro didn't seem too happy.
Silver: As much as I love Shotaro, I loved making jokes at his expense even more. XD
KKD: Yea, I can see that. Well, hope you enjoyed the first TTS Sidequest, which for those of you uneducated… wait… did you explain it yet?
Silver: Dude, look at the start of the script. -_-
KKD: *looks at script* ...Oh… guess I only dropped in in the middle of this… my bad.
Silver: Either way, you'll hopefully be able to see more Sidequests from me, Pika, Sempai, and TB in the near future. But until then, this has been SilverariaMaximum…
KKD: And the author formerly known as Kamen Keyblade Duelist, but now called KKD Silver… Jaa ne!
Silver: Stand up the Vanguard!
